THE TICKET

made for a candidate before the
primaries in this county last Satur-
day, who was not worthy to fill the
Office to which he Cor she) aspired,
it would have been a failure. While
saying this much for all, we, Of
course, are ready to follow the
WORLDS custom Of giving loyal
support to each one Of the nominees.
In this connection, we will say that
no reason appears for believing that
a sufficient number of Democrats
voted In the county last Saturday to
influence the result as to who should
be declared the nominee for any
Office. This, however, would not
Justify us in failing to register our
contempt for the makeup Of any
Democrat who would so far forget
the limits of common honor as thus
to vote without intending to adhere
implicitly to the rules which had
been laid down by the Republican
County Central Committee. Such
man is utterly unworthy to be trust-
ed in a business transaction. This
crime-it is nothing else-had been
practiced at other Republican pri-
maries in this county. In one in
stance, at least, last Saturday one of
these fellows, who had been known
not to do at past election as he had
promised, Was denied emphatically
the privilege Of voting. This was
proper. Of the fortunate nominees
Of last Saturdays primaries, we have
written favorably within the past
few weeks. At the risk Of repetition
it is proper to say: Joseph Fischer,
the candidate for sheriff, is an old
soldier, who saw plenty Of fight
ing, and gained prolonged stay in
Andersonville prison. He is natu-
rally bright man. He has seen con-
siderable service as under sheriff to
, our present competent sheriff, Mr. a
! ker. We are satisfied Mr.. Fischer
will make a good sheriff.
G. A. Hoar has been tried as
county clerk. We have yet to hear
the first person question his ability.
He, like others whom all of US could
name, may not have Travelled uni
formly in the best channel to make
the largest number Of friends. 1.-THE
plan Of giving Offices only to men Of
the goody-goody variety was to be
followed implicitly, it would not be
long until the Offices would be bet
ter vacant than filled. Every man
who voted last Saturday took vow,
with God as his witness, that he
would support the nominees Of the
Republican party in this county.
This VOW was inseparably connected
with his taking a part in making
the nominations. Mr.. Hoar will be
elected. He ought to be.
Miss Cliff has made a competent,
popular register of deeds. Her tri-
umphant nomination last Satur-
day was only the distant rattle Of
musketry as compared with the de-
cided cannonading which will herald
her election in November.
The vote for Charley Gibbs last
Saturday is sure index to his cleo
ton. He has made faultless record
as county treasurer, and it would
have been wrong to do otherwise
than concede to him a second term.
G. J. Ferris, the nominee for
county surveyor, has filled that Office
before. He is competent surveyor,
and his election is a matter Of course.
Joshua Croft has been coroner
almost as long as a residence in
Trego county carries back anybody's
memory. He sits upon proper sub
jects with the regulation efficiency.
His name in November is bound to
be Eli as Hon. j. F. Keeney would
say, with capital 'sE."
c, c. Ridgway, the nominee for
commissioner Of the first district,
